Mike M,

I understand why you would say that, but I am just trying to get a braze-on banjo fitting with which to build some custom lines for adding hydraulics. The factory does have a $300+ kit that doesn't do at all what I want. I would get a total of two useful fittings out of it. I could buy one of the hard lines that has one of these fittings on each end for about $80, but that's still $40 for each fitting which just seems a bit high to me for banjos.

You cannot buy these fittings themselves anywhere that I have found in the entire US and I really have looked. I source parts commercially on a global basis for a living and believe me they are just not readily available. I found one place in India and they are taking forever to communicate with me, probably because I am asking about small volume.

I just thought that if some older tractor used these too, I might find a salvage yard that might have some, or some other source for vintage parts. It tends to be a "mature" technology.
